Thoughts Of A Lonely Man

[C]Tonight when I get through at work [G7]I'll just head straight on [C]home

I'll [F]fix a bite and try to eat [C]then I'll pick up the [G7]phone

I'll [F]try to find out where she went [C]I must know how she's [F]been

That's the [C]thoughts [G7]of a lonely lonely [C]man

The [F]mind of a lonely man when he's [C]alone like me

[F]All day it counts mistakes he's made [C]all night it counts bad [G7]dreams

I [C]meant to treat my darlin' right [C7]somehow I failed my [F]plans

That's the [C]thoughts [G7]of a lonely lonely [C]man

Tomorrow I'll wake up at six [G7]I'll rise without a [C]groan

Punch [F]in at work by eight o'clock [C]just like there's nothin' [G7]wrong

If [F]I work hard enough maybe the [C]work will help me [F]stand

All these [C]thoughts [G7]of a lonely lonely [C]man

My [F]beggin' her might not be smart but [C]it makes sense to me

[F]Bein' smart won't help me much [C]if she don't come back to [G7]me

Oh [C]what I'd give to see her face or [C7]touch her gentle [F]hand

That's the [C]thoughts [G7]of a lonely lonely [C]man

That's the thoughts of [G7]this lonely lonely [C]man
